Powerbook 500 Series - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia File:///C:/Documents%20And%20Settings/Max/My%20Documents/My% PowerBook 500 series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Max/My%20Documents/My%... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The PowerBook 500 series (codenamed Blackbird) was a range of Apple Macintosh PowerBook portable computers first introduced by Apple Computer with the 540c model on 16 May 1994. The 500 series was the first laptop computer to use a trackpad instead of a trackball as a built-in pointing device and the first to have Ethernet networking built-in. It was the first PowerBook series to use a Motorola 68LC040 CPU (simultaneous with Duo 280) and be upgradeable to the PowerPC architecture via a swap out CPU daughter card (with the PowerPC and 68040 upgrades for sale), use 9.5" Dual Scan passive color/B&W displays, 16bit stereo sound with stereo speakers, have an expansion bay, PC Card capability, two battery bays (and a ten PowerBook 500 series minute sleep/clock battery), full size keyboard with F1-F12 function keys, be able to sleep while connected to an external monitor and Manufacturer Apple Computer have a battery contact cover included on the actual batteries. It Type Portable computer included a single serial port which could be to connect to a serial Pointing Built-in Trackpad printer or a network via Apple's LocalTalk. In another first, it also device included a AAUI port for connecting to non-LocalTalk (usually Ethernet) networks. Introduced 16 May 1994 The 500 series was discontinued completely with the introduction of the ill-fated PowerBook 5300. The PowerBook 190 was the de facto successor to the 500 and continued the only 68LC040 processor offering as the low-end of the PPC-based PowerBook family. The 540c is rated #2 of the all time best PowerBook models made according to Insanely Great Macintosh (http://web.archive.org/web/20060324140419/http: //www.insanely-great.com/features/112900.html) (survey taken Nov, 2000).

One of its marketing highlights was the promise of a PowerPC upgrade to its CPU and PC Card (PCMCIA) expansion. The introduction of this model came at the time of Apple's change over to the new PowerPC Chip from the 68k line of CPU's, and Apples advertising and promise of the PowerPC was the cause of headaches to the company. The resulting strong demand for its ground breaking design and wrong market prediction of waiting for the fully PowerPC PowerBook resulted in shortages early on. In due course the 540 was dropped from the line, 8 mb of additional memory and the modem was offered installed from the factory, hard drive capacity was increased (from 160 and 240 to 320 and 500 mb), and the installed system upped from System 7.1.1 to 7.5. The PC Card Cage also started to sell on the market. In 1995 Apple gave permission for Apple Japan to introduce an updated version, called the 550c, with a bigger display (10.4"), CPU with FPU (68040), bigger hard drive, and Japanese keyboard. It was only sold in Japan, and never received FCC certification. With delays in the new PowerPC book (5300), demand for the PPC upgrade mounted, and Newer Technology began to market the upgrade before Apple did, although they had produced the upgrade modules for Apple first. What's more, the offered 117 MHz versions over Apples 100 (actually, 99) MHz offering. Soon there after Newer introduced a 167 MHz model that outperformed the fastest PowerBook 5300, the $6800 5300ce, at a time when problems with that line became a real issue to Apple. About the time Apple introduced the PowerBook 1400, Newer introduced a 183 MHz upgrade with 128 Kb of L2 Cache that kept it ahead of the power curve performance wise. Newer Technologies stated they could not produce more of the 183 MHz upgrades because the supply of connectors was exhausted. This laptop was the first in the industry to include: Track pad (instead of track balls, pointer (IBM), or mouse), offered on most laptops today 16bit stereo sound @ 44.1kHz (Typical was 8bit mono @ 22kHz) Stereo speakers (located in upper corners of screen) Ethernet via AAUI (A transceiver was used to connect to either UTP or Coaxial type wiring) Non specialized internal expansion bay for connecting many types of devices (PDS connector in left battery bay). 2 of 7 4/19/2010 5:27 PM PowerBook 500 series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Max/My%20Documents/My%... "Intelligent" NiMH batteries (that is, had on-board circuitry to monitor health of battery) CPU on a daughter card, unique for a notebook. And among Apple's PowerBook line the first to have: 68LC040 (with Duo 280), or 68040 (in Japanese model) CPU standard. PowerPC 603e CPU as an upgrade 9.5" displays 10.4" display (550c in Japan) Dual Scan passive color and B+W screens CPU on daughtercard (first in any Mac) (PowerPC and 68040 upgrades) Expansion bay (PDS connector in left battery bay) PC Card capability (PCMCIA) via module 2 battery bays (and a 10 minute sleep/clock battery) Full size keyboard with function keys (F1-F12) Sleep while connected to external monitor Battery contact cover included on the batteries Variations across the range Although the 500 "Blackbird" prototypes were black, only one of the five production models was completely black; that was the 550c, sold only in Japan. The 550c differed from the four two-tone grey models in a few other key respects as well, including a larger active-matrix color screen, a combined Roman/Kanji keyboard, and a full 68040 processor. The other models were all charcoal grey with darker grey trim, came with a variety of displays (active/passive matrix; color/greyscale), and used the 68LC040 processor (a low-cost variant without a math co-processor). The full-sized keyboard with 12 function keys, and used a 640x480 resolution display was consistent across the family. Optional Internal Modem The modem was developed with Global Village, and is a unique 2 part design. The transceiver with the modem connector is installed in the back, and the modem itself is located next to the CPU daughter card. It was a V.32 Terbo, and had a top rate of 19.2 kbit/s, but only with the same modem as it was not an official standard. Otherwise it would drop down to 14.4 kbit/s. Due to a bug with the new combined printer/modem port, the driver had to be upgraded to 2.5.5, and the Chooser was replaced in the GV install. The 500 series of PowerBooks included the ability to use two batteries at the same time, allowing for 4 hours of battery life from two installed charged batteries. However the left batter also had an internal PDS slot that allowed for custom modules to be installed. Despite protypes being made, only 2 devices reached the market. PCMCIA "card cage" One is the PCMCIA module. There were three versions; RevA, RevB and RevC. The RevC is the most useful as it can take 16bit WiFi cards, allowing the possibility to get a Powerbook 5xx connected online or in the home network using a technology that was developed after the Powerbook 5xx's were discontinued by Apple. The 3 of 7 4/19/2010 5:27 PM PowerBook 500 series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Max/My%20Documents/My%... different revisions of the PCMCIA module were released by Apple to accommodate the developing PCMCIA standard. These modules are difficult to find, and the RevC module is in particular demand because it alone works with 16-bit WiFi cards. PC Card (PCMCIA) cage, 16bit, 2 Type I/II or 1 Type III cards, using a 68000 CPU to convert the PC Card protocol to PDS. FPU co-processor The other is the FPU co-processor, to make up for the lack of one in the PowerBook's 68LC040 CPU. The FPU module uses a 68882 FPU co-processor made by Sonnet. In total, almost 600,000 PowerBook 500 series units were produced, compared to only 300,000 PowerBook 5300 units.

  • Emate 300 User's Manual
    1 Writing and Drawing This chapter teaches you how best to write and draw on the eMate 300. There are several methods and tools you can use to enhance recognition, correct mistakes, and manipulate text and drawings. Go through the chapter to find the best tools for your needs. About recognition This section offers a general description of handwriting recognition used on your eMate and discusses some of the factors that may affect how well it recognizes your handwriting. When you write on your eMate, you write in normal printed or cursive characters, as well as numbers, punctuation, and gestures. Often you write English words, but not always. 1 The eMate tries to detect when you are writing English words, abbreviations, and common expressions. It uses a large dictionary to aid in recognizing these things quickly and accurately. When you write things that are neither simple numbers nor English words (such as initials, dates, telephone numbers, file names, or serial numbers) your eMate tries to match the characters you write to the common patterns of these entries. If no such pattern can be discerned, your eMate does its best to recognize the characters individually. Generally speaking, your eMate is somewhat better at recognizing poorly formed characters if they are part of English words (or other items that are in the eMate's dictionary). When you’re writing things such as license plate numbers, you’ll find that extra care in forming your characters neatly contributes to improved accuracy. Your eMate distinguishes characters and words in part by detecting pauses in your writing.
